Casey Affleck, Katherine Waterston, Christopher Abbott, and Vanessa Kirby in The World to Come (2020)
In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmers wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbott), when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other's lives they never knew existed. Directed by Mona Fastvold and scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen, THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the intensity of human connection.

    • Trivia
      The film was shot in a national park in Romania, and every set was designed by renowned production designer Jean-Vincent Puzos, and built from scratch.
    • Goofs
      When Dyer meets Tallie for the first time he greets her by saying "hello". But hello did not become a greeting like that until the late 19th century when Alexander Graham Bell popularized it as a telephone greeting. In the mid 19th century, "hello" was mainly used as an exclamation or to draw attention to something. The proper greeting in the 1850s would have been "good day".

    Portrait of Two Women Extinguished...
    Against the warmest 19th century colour, when being yourself was forbidden, a relationship begins but is thwarted, with fossil control and dominance reinstated. Two great performances from Katherine Waterstone and Vanessa Kirby amplified through the acute and sensitive direction of Mona Fastvold.
